Citrus-Spiced Couscous

Kate Sears

Tip: When shopping for turkey breast at the deli counter, ask for a piece cut from a whole store-roasted breast instead of the pressed deli-meat variety, which is typically quite salty and often filled with preservatives. If your store doesn't have it, omit the salt in this recipe.
